Welcome back to NHL Rumours. Today we will be discussing the Calgary Flames and some moves they are looking to make. The Flames have had a very surprising offseason. They signed star free agent Nazem Kadri<\/a>, and traded longtime forward Sean Monahan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It now looks like the Flames are regretting that move, as according to Elliotte Friedman, the Flames are looking for a secondary offensive forward.<\/p>\n

Friedman at the intermission says the #Flames<\/a> are looking for a scoring forward, they’ve actually been looking since August.<\/p>\n

The Flames have gotten off to a less-than-favorable start so far. With the offense not being as earth-shattering as once thought, and the goaltending being less than expected.<\/p>\n

That, adding on wanting to gear up for a Stanley Cup run over the summer. This has them wanting to acquire a second top 6 forward who can provide some much-needed offense.<\/p>\n

What This Means<\/h3>\n

For the Flames, this essentially means replacing the likes of Sean Monahan, who they sent to the Montreal Canadiens<\/a> in a trade they made over the offseason.<\/p>\n

although Nazem Kadri and Tyler Toffoli<\/a> have been recording a lot of quality points for the Flames, they still need the offensive production they are hoping to get out of Jonathan Huberdeau<\/a>.<\/p>\n

considering the Flames haven’t been on the start they wanted, they could make the push for a player like Mike Hoffman<\/a> as the trade deadline approaches. or the deal could be coming up soon, as Hoffman has had an uptick in scoring recently, notching 3 goals in his last 4 games after coming off of a wickedly horrible 2021-2022 season. Considering they have been looking for an offensive forward since august. It could make sense that they spring for a player sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n
